's-Gravenzande – Slag Beukel
's-Gravenzande, Netherlands, Netherlands
Slag Beukel sits in the quiet gap between Den Haag and Hoek van Holland and mostly flies under the radar — but riders who know it love the direct westerly fetch and the wave quality in NW or W conditions. Water gets deep fast and currents are active. For experienced riders wanting a less-crowded alternative to Kijkduin with solid ocean energy, Beukel quietly delivers.
Best months: March, April, May, September, October, November
Wind directions: N, NW, W, SW
Water: Sea
Bottom: Sand

Local tips
Not for beginners — deep water close to shore, active current. SW can be gusty near the Rotterdam breakwater. Loops and Barrels school operates in the area.
